Light House Studio Presents: The 25th Annual Youth Film Festival

Tickets will go live in August!
Join Light House Studio’s 25th Youth Film Festival on Sept 13th! Celebrate student films, storytelling, & community.
Light House Studio’s 25th Annual Youth Film Festival is a wonderful celebration of our community, students, and great filmmaking. The festival highlights student’s stories created during Light House Studio’s many school year workshops, community partnerships, and award-winning Summer Film Academy over the past year.
The Youth Film Festival is our most important fundraiser, providing 20% of our programming budget. Every ticket sold ensures we can keep providing an exceptional and unique filmmaking education to the Charlottesville community.
By attending the Youth Film Festival, you will be part of a first-time viewing experience of student films before they hit the national film festival circuit. To date for the 2025-26 festival circuit, Light House Studio has been honored with a total of 36 film festival acceptances and 20 awards!
Celebrate the art of storytelling with Light House Studio on Sunday, September 13th, 2026!
